The truth about men who kill women
Jul 19, 2026 •
Earlier this month, in the space of just three days, four women and girls in Australia were allegedly killed by men and boys known to them.
Two months ago, the Prime Minister resisted calls for a royal commission into domestic violence. But women and girls continue to be killed – sometimes within hours of one another.
Today, we’re bringing you an episode from 2024, where Ruby Jones speaks to Australia’s Sex Discrimination Commissioner, Dr Anna Cody, about why our domestic violence crisis is getting worse – and why years of plans, campaigns and promises have failed to stop it.
